BMC Client Management - Compliance

Enforcing compliance policies and assessing assets is difficult and time-consuming. To complicate matters, compliance standards are often interpreted differently from one auditor to another. As a result, compliance can quickly become a moving target. Reduce your compliance risk with the most comprehensive asset inventory and PC lifecycle management solution on the market today - and automate policy compliance across Windows, Mac, and Linux® environments.

With CM Compliance, along with CM Inventory, and Patch, you can quickly evaluate and remediate corporate, regulatory, and industry compliance requirements with a single database and console.
